In recent years, the addition of heatmaps have become available to instructors as in-class engagement opportunities whereby students click a location on a provided image in response to a prompt. Here, I describe an additional implementation that incorporates interactive lecture hall activities with over 100 students. Using an image of distinct sections of a lecture hall, I have students simulate spread of a disease by clicking their location to represent a disease case. A few individuals start with a disease and subsequent transmission events spread the disease throughout the lecture hall – all while remaining seated. Variation in individual student composition (e.g., personal belongings in lecture), or clustering of students add to the stochasticity of the model which facilitates discussion in the simulated data. The visualization of the heatmaps provides permanence to the student generated data and an added layer of graphical interpretation in this digital medium.
